    Good morning gentlemen,

     

    I have an issue in my code.

    Here what I want the code do: when a stop loss is touched, a variable is set to 1 and a “range” is set too (+X and -X points at the Tradeprice(1) )

    Here, visually:

    -----Range Up (10020)
    .
    .
    - Tradeprice (10000)
    .
    .
    -----Range Down (9980)

    In ordrer to do that, I code this:

    // ForbidddenTradingRange
    
    NoTrade = 0
    
    if notrade = 1 then
    RangeNoTradeUp = Tradeprice(1)+20
    endif
    
    if notrade = 1 then
    RangeNoTradeDown = Tradeprice(1)-20
    endif
    
    
    // Long
    indicator1, ignored, ignored = CALL "Unicorn Color"(close)
    indicator2 = Average[30](close)
    c1 = (indicator1 CROSSES OVER indicator2)
    
    
    IF c1 and notrade=0 AND timeEnterBefore AND timeEnterAfter THEN
    BUY 1 CONTRACT AT MARKET
    ENDIF
    
    // Close Long
    indicator3, ignored, ignored = CALL "Unicorn Color"(close)
    indicator4 = Average[30](close)
    c2 = (indicator3 CROSSES UNDER indicator4)
    
    IF c2 THEN
    SELL AT MARKET
    notrade=1
    ENDIF
    
    if close>RangeNoTradeUp or close<RangeNoTradeDown then
    NoTrade=0
    endif
    
    // Short
    indicator5, ignored, ignored = CALL "Unicorn Color"(close)
    indicator6 = Average[30](close)
    c3 = (indicator5 CROSSES UNDER indicator6)
    
    IF c3 and notrade=0 AND timeEnterBefore AND timeEnterAfter THEN
    SELLSHORT 1 CONTRACT AT MARKET
    ENDIF
    
    // Close Short
    indicator7, ignored, ignored = CALL "Unicorn Color"(close)
    indicator8 = Average[30](close)
    c4 = (indicator7 CROSSES OVER indicator8)
    
    IF c4 THEN
    EXITSHORT AT MARKET
    notrade=1
    ENDIF
    
    if close>RangeNoTradeUp or close<RangeNoTradeDown then
    NoTrade=0
    endif 
    
    
    
    // SL and TP
    SET STOP pLOSS 20
    SET TARGET pPROFIT 20
    

     

    When I backtest it, some trade don’t respect the rule “Forbidden Traading Range”.

     

    I  think I miss something, but I don’t know what 😉

     

    Thank you for your help.

     

    I wish you a good day.

    Start line 3 with ONCE, otherwise it will ALWAYS be false!

    …or just delete line 3 as the value of NoTrade will always start at zero!
